Hello friends, I want to add a palapa roof to my 32x26 feet flat roof concrete SIPs casa. Can I build straight on top using the roof or should I build on poles from the ground? The roof won't be accessible just for shade in summer

Asking people on the internet for design approval is not a good method...Don't know your location but guessing you don't get snow load...don't know current roof design, wall supporting capability, local seismic design data, hurricane information, and local building codes. It is best to contact a local engineer to help you with this.

You should obtain original building documents and let an engineer analyze for you
